I am finding Andy's arguments about recoding costs fairly compelling. In 
relationship to my earlier questions about 'what problem we are trying 
to solve' Pat responded that

rdf:LanguageTaggedString
was a useful type. I note that many of Andy's issues would be solved if rdf:LanguageTaggedString were a type but not a datatype.
i.e

rdf:LanguageTaggedString rdf:type rdfs:Class .

and

its class extension is the set of all language tagged literals.

This may also address some of Peter's concerns to do with needing to modify OWL.
